Konami is looking to ramp up its game development once again with new instalments and remakes of popular franchises, according to publishing sources who spoke with VideoGamesChronicle.
The first title to see a new entry will be Castlevania, which the sources said it is a "reimagining" of the series and is in development internally at Konami in Japan. There will also be support from local external studios.
The sources claim external studio, Virtuos, will be developing a remake of the Metal Gear Solid series, more specifically Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Konami also has plans to release remasters of the original Metal Gear Solid games for the latest consoles. These remasters will release ahead of the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The third series that will make a return is Silent Hill, which is reportedly going to have multiple new entries from external studios.

Would be amazing to see them pull this off. these are huge franchises and have been missed.
I feel like the MGS series died when Kojima left.
There is no "feel" about it.
I have no hope or hype for any of this. I will just wait and see what happens and maybe be pleasantly surprised.
Wonder how many additional save slots will be for sale for each game.
These games will be the equivalent of bowel surgery without anaesthesia
Curious if these will be PS5 exclusives like rumors have indicated or multiplatform....
I think all that Momotaro Densetsu money reminded them they can actually make money developing decent games again.
Without Iga, don't bother with Castlevania unless you plan to revive the linear Belmont games.
New pachinko games ? I doubt they can develop quality video games anymore.
Finally "reimagining" starts to become an acceptable word, rather than the false use of "remake" to games which aren't
Oh boy. I'm not so sure how this is going to turn out......I am curious about who is developing new Silent Hill games, though.
Wait, so a remake of MGS 3, which is a PS2 (so understandable), but only remasters of the earlier MGS titles?
Seriously can’t see those turning out well.
Hmm, I might have misread that, but I don't remember anymore whether that's the case. My apologies if I did misread.
Anyway, I can totally see the remasters doing well myself. Besides, if the MGS3 remake does well, who's to say the others won't be remade as well? Just gotta start somewhere, right, and MGS3 seems like a good choice.
Might make sense but since some remasters already exist, it might be easy enough for Konami to want to release them again anyway. Besides, they're stuck on PS3, i.e. not easily accessible via backwards compatibility, so I think there is actually some merit to this. This is a bit of an odd situation for sure, but I think it makes enough sense anyway.
They should remake Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 that were released in the 80's with current gen graphics, those stories haven't been experienced by several generation of gamers and would feel fresh, at least for me they would
We can say that about So many games
